The legend contains identifiers for each of the series of the data. The legend area can contain legend items, a background, and borders. The legend area is positioned using a relative location (where (0,0) = the left upper corner of the chart and (1,1) = the right lower corner of the chart) and a relative alignment (where (0,0) = the left upper corner of the label area and (1,1) = the right lower corner of the label area).

See the following for more information on how to set properties for the legend:

Using Code

Use location and alignment properties in the legend area classes to set the legend.

Dim legend As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.LegendArea()
